Disposition of the Stapled Securities
Gain on sale of Stapled Securities by a Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless (i) the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder’s investment in the Stapled Securities is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if provided by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder maintains in the United States) and a properly completed Form W-8ECI has not been provided, (ii) the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder is present in the United State for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and other specified conditions are met, or (iii) the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder is subject to U.S. federal income tax pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. tax law applicable to U.S. expatriates.
If gain on the sale of Stapled Securities would be subject to U.S. federal income taxation, the Stapled Securityholder would generally recognise any gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realised and the Stapled Securityholder’s adjusted basis in its Stapled Securities that are sold or exchanged. This gain or loss would be capital gain or loss, and would be long-term capital gain or loss if the Stapled Securityholder’s holding period in its Stapled Securities exceeds one year. In addition, a corporate Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder may be subject to the branch profits tax thereon.
Other Distributions by EH-REIT
Distributions by EH-REIT to a Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder attributable to distributions received from SG Corp will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxation unless (i) the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder’s investment in the Stapled Securities is effectively connected with its conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if provided by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder maintains in the United States) and a properly completed Form W-8ECI has not been provided or (ii) the Non-U.S. Stapled Securityholder is subject to U.S. federal income tax pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. tax law applicable to U.S. expatriates.

PLANOFDISTRIBUTION
The Managers are making an offering of 580,558,000 Stapled Securities (representing 66.9% of the total number of Stapled Securities in issue after the Offering) for subscription at the Offering Price under the Placement Tranche and the Public Offer. 535,687,000 Stapled Securities will be offered under the Placement Tranche and 44,871,000 Stapled Securities will be offered under the Public Offer. Stapled Securities may be re-allocated between the Placement Tranche and the Public Offer at the discretion of the Joint Bookrunners (in consultation with the Managers), subject to the minimum stapled securityholding and distribution requirements of the SGX-ST, in the event of an excess of applications in one and a deficit in the other.
The Public Offer is open to members of the public in Singapore. Under the Placement Tranche, the Managers intend to offer the Stapled Securities by way of an international placement through the Joint Bookrunners to investors, including institutional investors and other investors in Singapore and elsewhere in reliance on Regulation S.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement entered into between the Joint Bookrunners, the REIT Manager, the Trustee-Manager, the Sponsor and the Stapled Security Lender on 16 May 2019 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), the REIT Manager is expected to effect for the account of EH-REIT and the Trustee-Manager is expected to effect for the account of EH-BT the issue of, and the Joint Bookrunners are expected to severally (and not jointly) subscribe, or procure subscribers, for 580,558,000 Stapled Securities (which includes the Stapled Securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering, and the Cornerstone Stapled Securities), in the proportions set forth opposite their respective names below.
Number of Stapled Joint Bookrunners Securities
DBS Bank Ltd. 290,279,000 Merrill Lynch (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. 98,694,860 UBS AG, Singapore Branch 69,666,960 BNP Paribas, acting through its Singapore branch 40,639,060 Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch 40,639,060 Jefferies Singapore Limited 40,639,060
Total 580,558,000
The Stapled Securities will be offered at the Offering Price. The Offering Price per Stapled Security in the Placement Tranche and the Public Offer will be identical.
The Managers, the Sponsor and the Stapled Security Lender have agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to indemnify the Joint Bookrunners against certain liabilities. The indemnity in the Underwriting Agreement contains a contribution clause which provides that where the indemnification to the Joint Bookrunners is unavailable or insufficient, the Managers, the Sponsor and/or the Stapled Security Lender shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Joint Bookrunner as a result of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Managers, the Sponsor or the Stapled Security Lender on the one hand and the Joint Bookrunners on the other from the offering of the Stapled Securities. If, however, such allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then the Managers, Sponsor and/or the Stapled Security Lender shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Managers, the Sponsor and/or the Stapled Security Lender on the one hand and the relevant Joint Bookrunner on the other in connection with the statements or
403 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 427 of 891
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Managers, the Sponsor and/or the Stapled Security Lender on the one hand and the relevant Joint Bookrunner on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Stapled Securities in the Offering and Cornerstone Stapled Securities subscribed for or purchased under the Underwriting Agreement (before deducting expenses) bear to the underwriting commission received by the relevant Joint Bookrunner with respect to the Stapled Securities in the Offering and Cornerstone Stapled Securities subscribed for or purchased under the Underwriting Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Managers, the Sponsor and the Stapled Security Lender on the one hand or the Joint Bookrunners on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No Joint Bookrunner shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total fees and commissions received by such Joint Bookrunner with respect to the Offering exceeds the amount of any damages which such Joint Bookrunner has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
The Underwriting Agreement also provides for the obligations of the Joint Bookrunners to subscribe or procure the subscription for the Stapled Securities in the Offering subject to certain conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement.
The Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the Joint Bookrunners at any time prior to the issue and delivery of the Stapled Securities upon the occurrence of certain events including, among others, certain force majeure events pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.
Each of the Sole Financial Adviser and Issue Manager, the Joint Global Coordinators, the Joint Bookrunners and their respective associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, EHT, EH-REIT, EH-BT, the REIT Manager, the REIT Trustee, the Trustee-Manager and the Sponsor in the ordinary course of business and have engaged, and may in the future engage, in commercial banking or investment banking transactions and/or other commercial transactions with EHT, EH-REIT, EH-BT, the REIT Manager, the REIT Trustee, the Trustee-Manager and the Sponsor, for which they have received or made payment of, or may in the future receive or make payment of, customary compensation.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, and in addition to their role as Joint Bookrunners pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and the role of DBS Bank Ltd. as Sole Financial Adviser and Issue Manager, and the role of DBS Bank Ltd. as Stabilising Manager, the Joint Bookrunners intend to pre-fund part of the proceeds raised from the Offering and the Cornerstone Stapled Securities, which will be used by EH-REIT to partially finance the payment to the Vendors for the purchase price of the Initial Portfolio. EHT intends to use part of the proceeds from the Offering and the issuance of Cornerstone Stapled Securities to repay the Joint Bookrunners for such pre-funded amounts. See “Use of Proceeds” for further details. In addition, Bank of America N.A. (or its affiliate), which is an affiliate of Merrill Lynch (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., Bank of the West, a California banking corporation which is wholly owned by BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, which is an affiliate of Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch, DBS Bank Ltd. and UBS AG, Stamford Branch which is an affiliate of UBS AG, Singapore Branch will be extending the New Term Loan Facilities to EH-REIT (see “Capitalisation and Indebtedness” for further details). Letters of credit which may be given to the Master Lessees as security deposits under the Master Lease Agreements may also be provided by any of the Sole Financial Adviser and Issue Manager, the Joint Global Coordinators, the Joint Bookrunners or their affiliates. In connection with standby letters of credit issued by the Third Party Financial
404 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 428 of 891
Institution in favour of the Master Lessors as security deposits under the Master Lease Agreements on or around the Listing Date, it is expected that UBS AG, Singapore Branch, will be issuing counter-standby letters of credit to the Third Party Financial Institution. As the risk is passed through to UBS AG, Singapore Branch through the Third Party Financial Institution, UBS AG, Singapore Branch will be receiving collateral from SPV1 before issuing such counter-standby letters of credit to the Third Party Financial Institution. The standby letters of credit issued by the Third Party Financial Institution may in turn be used by EH-REIT as collateral under the New Term Loan Facilities.
Each of the Sole Financial Adviser and Issue Manager, the Joint Global Coordinators, the Joint Bookrunners and their respective associates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers in the ordinary course of business, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and instruments, including Stapled Securities. The Sole Financial Adviser and Issue Manager, the Joint Global Coordinators, the Joint Bookrunners and their associates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to their clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
OVER-ALLOTMENT AND STABILISATION
The Stapled Security Lender has granted the Over-Allotment Option to the Joint Bookrunners for the purchase from the Stapled Security Lender up to an aggregate of 37,500,000 Stapled Securities at the Offering Price. The number of Stapled Securities subject to the Over-Allotment Option will not be more than 6.5% (based on the Offering Price) of the number of Stapled Securities under the Offering. The Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf), in consultation with the other Joint Bookrunners, may exercise the Over-Allotment Option in full or in part, on one or more occasions, to acquire from the Stapled Security Lender, up to an aggregate of 37,500,000 Stapled Securities at the Offering Price, representing not more than 6.5% of the total number of Stapled Securities in the Offering solely to cover the over-allotment of Stapled Securities (if any) made in connection with the Offering. The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable from the Listing Date but no later than the earlier of (i) the date falling 30 days from the Listing Date; or (ii) the date when the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) has bought, on the SGX-ST, an aggregate of 37,500,000 Stapled Securities, (representing 6.5% of the total number of Stapled Securities in the Offering), to undertake stabilising actions to purchase up to an aggregate of 37,500,000 Stapled Securities (representing 6.5% of the total number of Stapled Securities in the Offering), at the Offering Price. In connection with the Over-Allotment Option, the Stabilising Manager and the Stapled Security Lender have entered into a stapled security lending agreement (the “Stapled Security Lending Agreement”) dated 16 May 2019 pursuant to which the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) may borrow up to an aggregate of 37,500,000 Stapled Securities from the Stapled Security Lender for the purpose of facilitating settlement of the over-allotment of Stapled Securities in connection with the Offering. The Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) will re-deliver to the Stapled Security Lender such number of Stapled Securities which have not been purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.
In connection with the Offering, the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) may, in consultation with the other Joint Bookrunner and at its discretion, over-allot or effect transactions which stabilise or maintain the market price of the Stapled Securities at levels which might not otherwise prevail in the open market. However, there is no assurance that the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) will undertake stabilising action. Such transactions may be effected on the SGX-ST and in other jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable
405 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 429 of 891
laws and regulations, including the SFA and any regulations thereunder. Any profit after expenses derived, or any loss sustained as a consequence of the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or the undertaking of any stabilising activities shall be for the account of the Joint Bookrunners.
None of the Managers, the Sponsor, the Stapled Security Lender, the Joint Bookrunners or the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) makes any representation or prediction as to the magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of the Stapled Securities. In addition, none of the Managers, the Sponsors, the Stapled Security Lender, the Joint Bookrunners or the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) makes any representation that the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf) will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice (unless such notice is required by law). The Stabilising Manager will be required to make a public announcement via SGXNET in relation to the total number of Stapled Securities purchased by the Stabilising Manager (or any of its affiliates or other persons acting on its behalf), not later than 12.00 noon on the next trading day of the SGX-ST after the transactions are effected. The Stabilising Manager will also be required to make a public announcement through the SGX-ST in relation to the cessation of stabilising action and the number of Stapled Securities in respect of which the Over-Allotment Option has been exercised not later than 8.30 a.m. on the next trading day of the SGX-ST after the cessation of stabilising action.

CLEARANCEANDSETTLEMENT
INTRODUCTION
A letter of eligibility has been obtained from the SGX-ST for the listing and quotation of the Stapled Securities. For the purpose of trading on the SGX-ST, a board lot for the Stapled Securities will comprise 100 Stapled Securities.
Upon listing and quotation on the SGX-ST, the Stapled Securities will be traded under the electronic book-entry clearance and settlement system of CDP. All dealings in and transactions of the Stapled Securities through the SGX-ST will be effected in accordance with the terms and conditions for the operation of Securities Accounts, as amended from time to time.
CDP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Exchange Limited, is incorporated under the laws of Singapore and acts as a depository and clearing organisation. CDP holds securities for its account holders and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between account holders through electronic book-entry changes in the Securities Accounts maintained by such account holders with CDP.
It is expected that the Stapled Securities will be credited into the Securities Accounts of applicants for the Stapled Securities within four Market Days1 after the closing date for applications for the Stapled Securities.
CLEARANCEANDSETTLEMENTUNDERTHEDEPOSITORYSYSTEM
The Stapled Securities will be registered in the name of CDP or its nominee and held by CDP for and on behalf of persons who maintain, either directly or through depository agents, Securities Accounts with CDP. Persons named as direct Securities Account holders and depository agents in the depository register maintained by CDP, will be treated as Stapled Securityholders in respect of the number of Stapled Securities credited to their respective Securities Accounts.
Transactions in the Stapled Securities under the book-entry settlement system will be reflected by the seller’s Securities Account being debited with the number of Stapled Securities sold and the buyer’s Securities Account being credited with the number of Stapled Securities acquired. No transfer stamp duty is currently payable for the transfer of the Stapled Securities that are settled on a book-entry basis.
The Stapled Securities credited to a Securities Account may be traded on the SGX-ST on the basis of a price between a willing buyer and a willing seller. The Stapled Securities credited into a Securities Account may be transferred to any other Securities Account with CDP, subject to the terms and conditions for the operation of Securities Accounts and a transfer fee payable to CDP. All persons trading in the Stapled Securities through the SGX-ST should ensure that the relevant Stapled Securities have been credited into their Securities Account, prior to trading in such Stapled Securities, since no assurance can be given that the Stapled Securities can be credited into the Securities Account in time for settlement following a dealing. If the Stapled Securities have not been credited into the Securities Account by the due date for the settlement of the trade, the buy-in procedures of the SGX-ST will be implemented.
1 “Market Day” means any day on which the SGX-ST is open for trading in securities.

CLEARINGFEES
A clearing fee for the trading of the Stapled Securities on the SGX-ST is payable at the rate of 0.0325% of the transaction value. The clearing fee, deposit fee and Stapled Security withdrawal fee may be subject to GST (currently 7.0%).
Dealings in the Stapled Securities will be carried out in US dollars and will be effected for settlement in CDP on a scripless basis. Settlement of trades on a normal “ready” basis on the SGX-ST generally takes place on the second Market Day1 following the transaction date and payment for the Stapled Securities is generally settled on the same Market Day1 as settlement. CDP holds Stapled Securities on behalf of investors in Securities Accounts. An investor may open a direct account with CDP or a sub-account with any CDP depository agent. A CDP depository agent may be a member company of the SGX-ST, bank, merchant bank or trust company.
1 “Market Day” means any day on which the SGX-ST is open for trading in securities.

Dear Sirs
Letter from the reporting auditors on the profit forecast for the period from 1 May 2019 to 31 December 2019 and the profit projection for the year ending 31 December 2020
This letter has been prepared for inclusion in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to be issued in connection with the offering of stapled securities in Eagle Hospitality Trust, comprising Eagle Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (“EH-REIT”) and Eagle Hospitality Business Trust at the offering price of US$0.78 per stapled security (the “Offering”).
The directors of Eagle Hospitality REIT Management Limited (the “Directors”) are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the forecast consolidated statement of comprehensive income of EH-REIT for the period from 1 May 2019 to 31 December 2019 (the “Profit Forecast”) and the year ending 31 December 2020 (the “Profit Projection”) as set out on page 157 of the Prospectus, which have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions set out on pages 159 to 173 of the Prospectus.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics for Public Accountants and Accounting Entities (ACRA Code), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectively, professional competence and due are, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The firm applies Singapore Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have examined the Profit Forecast of EH-REIT for the period from 1 May 2019 to 31 December 2019 and the Profit Projection for the year ending 31 December 2020 as set out on page 157 of the Prospectus in accordance with Singapore Standard on Assurance Engagements (“SSAE”) 3400 The Examination of Prospective Financial Information. The Directors are solely responsible for the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection including the assumptions set out on pages 159 to 173 of the Prospectus on which they are based.
A-1 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 479 of 891
Profit Forecast
Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the relevant assumptions, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that these assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the Profit Forecast. Further, in our opinion the Profit Forecast, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions, is consistent with the accounting policies set out on pages C-13 to C-21 of the Prospectus, and is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (but not all the required disclosures) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), which is the framework to be adopted by EH-REIT in the preparation of its financial statements.
Profit Projection
The Profit Projection is intended to show a possible outcome based on the stated assumptions. As EH-REIT is newly established without any history of activities and because the length of the period covered by the Profit Projection extends beyond the period covered by the Profit Forecast, the assumptions used in the Profit Projection (which include hypothetical assumptions about future events which may not necessarily occur) are more subjective than would be appropriate for a profit forecast. The Profit Projection does not therefore constitute a profit forecast.
Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the relevant assumptions, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that these assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the Profit Projection. Further, in our opinion the Profit Projection, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, is properly prepared on the basis of the assumptions, is consistent with the accounting policies set out on pages C-13 to C-21 of the Prospectus, and is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (but not all the required disclosures) as issued by the IASB, which is the framework to be adopted by EH-REIT in the preparation of its financial statements.
Events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated under the hypothetical assumptions occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Profit Projection since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. The actual results may therefore differ materially from those projected. For the reasons set out above, we do not express any opinion as to the possibility of achievement of the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection.
Attention is drawn, in particular, to the risk factors set out on pages 72 to 106 of the Prospectus which describe the principal risks associated with the Offering, to which the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection relate and the sensitivity analysis of the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection set out on pages 173 and 175 of the Prospectus.

UNAUDITEDPROFORMACONSOLIDATEDFINANCIALINFORMATION
AINTRODUCTION
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared for inclusion in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to be issued in connection with the proposed listing of Eagle Hospitality Trust (“EHT”) on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”).
Eagle Hospitality Trust is a hospitality stapled group comprising Eagle Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (“EH-REIT”) and Eagle Hospitality Business Trust (“EH-BT”). EH-REIT is a Singapore-based real estate investment trust constituted pursuant to a trust deed dated 11 April 2019 made between Eagle Hospitality REIT Management Pte. Ltd. (the “REIT Manager”) and DBS Trustee Limited (the “REIT Trustee”). EH-REIT is established with the principal investment strategy of investing on a long-term basis, directly or indirectly, in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate which is primarily for hospitality and/or hospitality-related purposes, as well as real estate-related assets in connection with the foregoing, with an initial focus on the United States (the “US”). EH-BT is a Singapore-based business trust constituted by a trust deed dated 11 April 2019 and will be managed by Eagle Hospitality Business Trust Management Pte. Ltd. (the “Trustee-Manager”) which will be dormant as at the Listing Date. The securities in each of EH-REIT and EH-BT are stapled together under the terms of a stapling deed dated 11 April 2019 entered into between the Manager, the REIT Trustee and the Trustee-Manager (“Stapling Deed”) and cannot be traded separately. Each stapled security in EHT (the “Stapled Security”) comprises a unit in EH-REIT (“EH-REIT Unit”) and a unit in EH-BT (“EH-BT Unit”). The REIT Manager and the Trustee-Manager are hereinafter collectively referred to as “the Managers”.
The Managers’ principal objectives are to deliver regular and stable distributions to the holders of the Stapled Securities (the “Stapled Securityholders”) and to achieve long-term growth in distribution per Stapled Security (“DPS”) and in the net asset value per Stapled Security, while maintaining an appropriate capital structure.
On the Listing Date, EHT’s initial portfolio will comprise 18 properties located in the US (the “Initial Portfolio”) as follows:
• 12 properties comprising: (1) Sheraton Pasadena (“SPH”) (2) Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Anaheim (“HIA”) (3) Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim North (“ESAN”) (4) Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites San Mateo (“HISM”) (5) Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Airport (“FPSJ”) (6) The Westin Sacramento (“WSAC”) (7) Embassy Suites by Hilton Palm Desert (“ESPD”) (8) The Queen Mary Long Beach (“QUEEN”) (9) Renaissance Denver Stapleton (“RDH”) (10) Holiday Inn Denver East – Stapleton (“HIDH”) (11) Holiday Inn Orlando Suites – Waterpark (“OHIR”) (12) Crowne Plaza Danbury (“CPD”)
C-1 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 485 of 891
Each property is referred to as a “Hotel” and collectively, the properties are referred to as the “USHI Portfolio”.
• 6 properties comprising: (1) Sheraton Denver Tech Center (“SDTC”) (2) Crowne Plaza Dallas Near Galleria Addison (“CPDL”) (3) Hilton Houston Galleria Area (“HHG”) (4) Renaissance Woodbridge (“RW”) (5) Doubletree by Hilton Salt Lake City Airport (“SLC”) (6) Hilton Atlanta Northeast (“HAN”)
Each property is referred to as a “Hotel” and collectively, the properties are referred to as the “ASAP6 Portfolio”.
The vendor of the USHI Portfolio is USHIL Hospitality Investments LLC (the “USHI Portfolio Vendor”), whose common equity interests are indirectly owned by Howard Wu and Taylor Woods (collectively, the “Founders”). The vendors of the ASAP6 Portfolio are MWCI, LLC and CWCI, LLC (collectively, the “ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors”) whose common equity interests are owned by the Founders. The ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors have acquired the ASAP6 Portfolio from the existing third party owners of the ASAP6 Portfolio (the “Third Party ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors”) prior to the Listing Date. The USHI Portfolio Vendor and ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors are collectively referred to as the “Vendors”.
On the Listing Date, EH-REIT will acquire the USHI Portfolio through the acquisition of the entire equity interest in USHIL Holdco Member, LLC (excluding its equity interests in USHIL Holdco, LLC, UC Junior Mezz, LLC and UC Senior Mezz, LLC) and the ASAP6 Portfolio through the acquisition of the entire equity interest of CI Hospitality Investment, LLC. The acquisitions as described above will take place on the Listing Date and are collectively referred to as the “Acquisitions”.
Following the acquisition of the USHI Portfolio and ASAP6 Portfolio and a series of assignments and intra-company loans and funds transfers, the interests in USHIL Holdco Member, LLC and CI Hospitality Investment LLC, will be owned by EHT US1, Inc, a newly incorporated U.S. corporation wholly-owned by EH-REIT through Eagle Hospitality Trust S1 Pte. Ltd., a newly incorporated Singapore company wholly-owned by EH-REIT.
In connection with the Acquisitions, EHT proposes to issue 867,888,000 new Stapled Securities at an offering price of US$0.78 (the “Offering Price”) per Stapled Security (the “Offering”), net of issue costs of US$41.4 million and obtain borrowings in order to, inter alia, fund the Acquisitions and associated costs. The Offering consists of (i) an international placement of 535,687,000 Stapled Securities to investors, including institutional and other investors in Singapore, and (ii) an offering of 44,871,000 Stapled Securities to the public in Singapore. Separate from the Offering, U.S. Hospitality Investments LLC as vendor of the USHI Portfolio (“USHI Portfolio Vendor”) will receive an aggregate of 142,459,998 Stapled Securities at the Offering Price in part satisfaction of the purchase consideration for the USHI Portfolio. In addition, concurrently with, but separate from the Offering, cornerstone investors (“Cornerstone Investors”) have entered into conditional subscription agreements to subscribe for an aggregate of 144,870,000 Stapled Securities at the Offering Price.
On the Listing Date, EH-REIT will enter into master lease agreements (the “Master Lease Agreements”) with affiliates of Urban Commons, LLC, the Sponsor of EHT (collectively, the “Master Lessees”).
C-2 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 486 of 891
The initial terms of the Master Lease Agreements are disclosed in note 6 in Section D. In relation to each Hotel, the Master Lessees will appoint a professional hotel manager and a third party hotel franchisor to manage the day-to-day operations of that Hotel.
B BASIS OF PREPARATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
No financial statements of EHT have been prepared for the financial years ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 as EH-REIT and EH-BT were established on 11 April 2019.
No pro forma financial information of EH-BT has been presented as it will be dormant as at the Listing Date. Accordingly, no consolidated pro forma financial information for EHT has been presented.
The unaudited pro forma financial information set out in this report has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and based on certain assumptions, after making certain adjustments, and shows the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income of EH-REIT and its subsidiaries (the “Pro Forma Group”) for the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the Pro Forma Group for the year ended 31 December 2018 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Pro Forma Group as at the Listing Date.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows of the Pro Forma Group for the year ended 31 December 2018 do not include the pro forma financial results and cash flows arising from the ASAP6 Portfolio as the Managers do not have the historical financial information of the ASAP6 Portfolio for the aforementioned three years. The Third Party ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors are unrelated to the Sponsor and the Founders will only be acquiring the ASAP6 Portfolio from the Third Party ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors prior to the Listing Date (before EH-REIT acquires the ASAP6 Portfolio from the ASAP6 Portfolio Vendors).
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018 reflect the financial performance of the Pro Forma Group, assuming the Pro Forma Group had acquired the USHI Portfolio and entered into the Master Lease Agreements for the USHI Portfolio on 1 January 2016 or the date of acquisition by the Sponsor, whichever is later, pursuant to the terms set out in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”).
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31 December 2018 reflects the cash flows of the Pro Forma Group, assuming the Pro Forma Group had acquired the USHI Portfolio and entered into the Master Lease Agreements for the USHI Portfolio on 1 January 2018, pursuant to the terms set out in the Prospectus.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at the Listing Date reflects the financial position of the Pro Forma Group, assuming the Pro Forma Group had purchased the various entities which own the Initial Portfolio and entered into the Master Lease Agreements for the Initial Portfolio on the Listing Date, pursuant to the terms set out in the Prospectus.
C-3 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 487 of 891
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (collectively, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in Section D and is to be read in conjunction with Section E. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared based on the Offering Price of US$0.78 and assuming the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full.
The objective of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information is to show what the financial performance, cash flows and financial position might have been, on the basis as described above. However, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of the financial performance, cash flows and financial position that would have been attained had the Pro Forma Group actually existed earlier or on the Listing Date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information, because of its nature, may not give a true picture of the Pro Forma Group’s actual financial performance, cash flows or financial position.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been prepared based on the audited aggregated financial statements of the entities that owned the USHI Portfolio for the years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017 and the audited aggregated financial statements of USHIL Holdco Member, LLC, USHIL Holdco, LLC, UC Junior Mezz, LLC, UC Senior Mezz, LLC and the entities that owned the USHI Portfolio for the year ended 31 December 2018. The aforementioned financial information are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Relevant Financial Information”.
The Relevant Financial Information for the years ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 was prepared, based on the accounting policies of USHIL Holdco Member, LLC, USHIL Holdco, LLC, UC Junior Mezz, LLC, UC Senior Mezz, LLC and the entities that owned the USHIL Portfolio, which are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and was audited by KPMG Singapore in accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing.
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been prepared to reflect the financial performance of the Pro Forma Group, assuming the Pro Forma Group had acquired the USHI Portfolio, except for The Queen Mary Long Beach, and entered into the Master Lease Agreements for the properties on 1 January 2016, pursuant to the terms set out in the Prospectus. It is assumed that the Pro Forma Group acquired The Queen Mary Long Beach and entered into a Master Lease Agreement for that property on 16 April 2016 (being the date the Sponsor acquired the property) pursuant to the terms set out in the Prospectus.
In arriving at the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for each of the periods presented, the following key assumptions and adjustments were made:
• Finance costs (including amortisation of transaction costs) relating to the borrowings that existed prior to the Acquisitions were reversed;
• Hotel management fees based on the arrangements existing prior to the Acquisitions were reversed;
C-4 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 488 of 891
• Depreciation, amortisation expense, certain administrative, general and other operating expenses incurred by the entities that own the USHI Portfolio prior to their acquisition by EH-REIT, which will not be incurred by EH-REIT were reversed;
• Revenue is assumed to be computed based on the terms of the Master Lease Agreements for the USHI Portfolio, which have been applied to the revenue and gross operating profit in the Relevant Financial Information, after making certain adjustments.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of the Pro Forma Group as at the Listing Date is prepared for illustrative purposes only, after making certain assumptions, to reflect the financial position of the Pro Forma Group as if it had completed the Offering and the issuance of the Stapled Securities to the Sponsor and the Cornerstone Investors, drawn down new debt facilities, and acquired the Initial Portfolio on the Listing Date, under the same terms set out in the Prospectus.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the Listing Date has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in section D and is to be read in conjunction with Section E.
The objective of the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is to show what the financial position of the Pro Forma Group might have been at the Listing Date, on the basis as described above. However, the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is not necessarily indicative of the financial position that would have been attained by the Pro Forma Group on the actual Listing Date. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, because of its nature, may not give a true picture of the Pro Forma Group’s financial position.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at the Listing Date has been prepared after incorporating the following key assumptions and adjustments:
• The entities that held the ASAP6 Portfolio are assumed to only have investment properties, cash balances, other payables and borrowings as at the Listing Date.
• The entities that held the Initial Portfolio were acquired at an aggregate purchase consideration (net of borrowings assumed but including the related transaction costs) of US$597,654,000. Of the purchase consideration, US$397,535,000 and US$111,119,000 were settled in cash and Stapled Securities, respectively and the remaining US$89,000,000 was set off against the proceeds from the Unsecured Loan (Note 10). Of the amount settled in cash, US$10,782,000 was retained by the Pro Forma Group as part of the Vendors’ commitment to (i) fund the capital expenditure of certain Hotels and (ii) defray the higher borrowing cost arising from the existing ASAP6 loans assumed by EH-REIT against the market interest rates achieved under the new loan facilities;
• Cash balances of US$4,510,000 were assumed by EH-REIT as at the Listing Date;
• Borrowings of US$514,151,000 were assumed as part of the Acquisitions. Of this amount, US$471,621,000 was repaid on the Listing Date;
• Security deposits of US$23,650,000 were received from the Master Lessees;
• Proceeds raised from the Offering amounted to US$565,834,000;
• Issue costs relating to the Offering are estimated to be US$41,363,000 and are assumed to be funded by proceeds raised from the Offering; and
• Borrowings of US$458,467,000 (net of transaction costs incurred of U$6,533,000) were drawn down by the Pro Forma Group on the Listing Date to partially fund the acquisition of the Initial Portfolio.

DNOTESTOTHEUNAUDITEDPROFORMACONSOLIDATEDFINANCIALINFORMATION
1. Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with the bases set out in Section B and applied to financial information prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and the applicable requirements of the Code on Collective Investment Schemes issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) and the provisions of the Trust Deed.
The financial information of the Pro Forma Group comprise EH-REIT and its subsidiaries.
(b) Basis of measurement
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information is prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting policies below.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The financial information is presented in United States Dollars (“US$”) which is EH-REIT’s functional currency. All Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information is included in Note 6 – Valuation of investment properties.
2. Significant accounting policies of EH-REIT
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently throughout the periods presented in this financial information, and have been applied consistently by the Pro Forma Group.
(a) Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both. They are not for sale in the ordinary course of business, used in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes.
C-13 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 497 of 891
Investment properties are initially recognised at cost, including transaction costs, and subsequently at fair value with any change therein recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment properties.
Rental income from investment properties is accounted for in the manner described in Note 2(f). When an investment property is disposed of, the resulting gain or loss recognised in the statement of comprehensive income is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the property.
(b) Financial instruments
(i) Recognition and initial measurement
Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Pro Forma Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(ii) Classification and subsequent measurement
Non-derivative financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified at: amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Pro Forma Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
Financial assets at amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
• it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
• its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
C-14 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 498 of 891
Non-derivative financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Directly attributable transaction cost are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Other financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. These financial liabilities comprised loans and borrowings and trade and other payables.
(iii) Derecognition
Financial assets
The Pro Forma Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Pro Forma Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and does not retain control over the transferred asset.
Financial liabilities
The Pro Forma Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Pro Forma Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
(iv) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Pro Forma Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(c) Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
The Pro Forma Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) on financial assets measured at amortised costs. Loss allowances of the Pro Forma Group are measured on either of the following bases:
• 12-month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or for a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months); or
• Lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
C-15 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 499 of 891
Simplified approach
The Pro Forma Group applies the simplified approach to provide for ECLs for all trade receivables. The simplified approach requires the loss allowance to be measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
General approach
The Pro Forma Group applies the general approach to provide for ECLs on all other financial instruments. Under the general approach, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs at initial recognition.
At each reporting date, the Pro Forma Group assesses whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. When credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Pro Forma Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Pro Forma Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment and includes forward-looking information.
If credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition or if the credit quality of the financial instruments improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
The Pro Forma Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Pro Forma Group in full, without recourse by the Pro Forma Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held).
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are probability-weighted estimates of credit losses. Credit losses are measured at the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Pro Forma Group expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Pro Forma Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:
• significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
• a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;
C-16 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 500 of 891
• the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Pro Forma Group on terms that the Pro Forma Group would not consider otherwise;
• it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or
• the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
Presentation of allowance for ECLs in the statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of these assets.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Pro Forma Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment properties, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit (“CGU”) exceeds its estimated recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to its present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.
Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses recognised in prior years are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
(d) Issue costs
Issue costs relate to expenses incurred in connection with the issue of the Stapled Securities and are deducted directly against the unitholders’ funds.
(e) Leases
Applicable to the Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Comprehensive Income for the years ended 31 December 2016, 2017 and 2018
When the Pro Forma Group is a lessee of an operating lease
When the Pro Forma Group has the use of assets under operating leases, payments made under the leases are recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised in the profit or loss as
C-17 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 501 of 891
an integral part of the total lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to the profit or loss in the accounting period in which they are incurred.
When the Pro Forma Group is a lessor of an operating lease
Assets subject to operating leases are included in investment properties (see Note 2(a)).
Applicable to the Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Financial Position as at the Listing Date
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Pro Forma Group assesses whether:
– the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
– the Pro Forma Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
– the Pro Forma Group has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Pro Forma Group has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decision about how and for what purpose the asset is used is predetermined, the Pro Forma Group has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
– the Pro Forma Group has the right to operate the asset; or
– the Pro Forma Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Pro Forma Group reallocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Pro Forma Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single component.
When the Pro Forma Group is a lessee of an operating lease
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentive received.
For the right-of-use asset associated with an underlying asset which meets the definition of an investment property, the Pro Forma Group subsequently remeasures the right-of-use asset at fair value.
C-18 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 502 of 891
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Pro Forma Group’s incremental borrowing rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
– fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
– variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
– amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
– the exercise price under a purchase option that the Pro Forma Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Pro Forma Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Pro Forma Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Pro Forma Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Pro Forma Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
Short term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Pro Forma Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Pro Forma Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When the Pro Forma Group is a lessor of an operating lease
When the Pro Forma Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.
To classify each lease, the Pro Forma Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Pro Forma Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.
When the Pro Forma Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Pro Forma Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.
C-19 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 503 of 891
The Pro Forma Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(f) Revenue recognition
Rental income receivable under operating leases is recognised in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income to be received. Variable rent is recognised as income in the accounting period in which it is earned and the amount can be measured reliably.
(g) Provisions
Levies
A provision for levies is recognised when the condition that triggers the payment of the levy as specified in the relevant legislation is met. If a levy legislation that is subject to a minimum activity threshold so that the obligating event is reaching a minimum activity, then a provision is recognised when that minimum activity threshold is met.
(h) Finance income and expense
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs are recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale.
(i) Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in the profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items directly related to equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the statement of financial position method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for the temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
C-20 Case 21-10036-CSS Doc 211-4 Filed 02/15/21 Page 504 of 891
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses and credits and temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(j) Segment information
An operating segment is a component of the Pro Forma Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Pro Forma Group’s other components. No segment information has been presented as all the properties are being leased as hotels and are all located in the US.

(2) These investment properties are leased to the Master Lessees for a period of 20 years with an option to obtain an additional lease for a further 20 years on the same terms.
The valuations of the investment properties are based on the valuations performed by an independent professional valuer. The fair values are based on open market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
The valuers have considered the discounted cash flow method and the direct sales comparison method in arriving at the open market value as at the reporting date. The valuation methods involve certain estimates. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of investment properties include discount rate, terminal yield and valuation per key. In relying on the valuation reports, the REIT Manager has exercised its judgment and is satisfied that the valuation methods and estimates are reflective of current market conditions and that the valuation reports are prepared in accordance with recognised appraisal and valuation standards.
The fair value measurement for investment properties has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation techniques used.
Level 3 fair value
The following table shows the range of key unobservable inputs used within the valuation reports:

Discounted cash flow Discount rate of 7% – 8.75% Higher discount rate and approach Terminal yield rate of 5.25% – terminal yield rate would 7.00% result in a lower fair value, while lower rates would result in a higher fair value. Direct sales comparison Price per room US$50,000 – Higher price per room would approach US$460,000 result in a higher fair value, while a lower price per room would result in a lower fair value.

13. Financial risk management
The Pro Forma Group’s activities expose it to credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk (including interest rate risk and currency risk) in the normal course of its business. The Pro Forma Group’s overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise adverse effects from the unpredictability of financial markets on the Pro Forma Group’s financial performance.
The REIT Manager identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks and provides guidelines for overall risk management, covering specific areas, such as mitigating credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Pro Forma Group as and when they fall due.
The Pro Forma Group has a credit policy in place and exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Cash is placed with financial institutions which are regulated.
Impairment on cash and cash equivalents has been measured on the 12-month expected credit loss basis. The Pro Forma Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk based on the external credit ratings of the counterparties. The amount of expected credit loss on cash and cash equivalents is negligible.
At the reporting date, there was no significant concentration of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Pro Forma Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Pro Forma Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Pro Forma Group’s reputation.
The Pro Forma Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Pro Forma Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

^ Excludes deferred income
Interest rate risk
The Pro Forma Group manages its net exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining sufficient lines of credit to achieve acceptable lending costs and by monitoring the exposure to such risks on an ongoing basis. The Pro Forma Group is assumed to have entered into hedging contracts to fix the interest rates on at least 75% of its outstanding borrowings.
The Pro Forma Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from its interest-bearing financial liabilities which are variable rate instruments. A change of 10 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date, assuming 75% of the borrowings are hedged, would have increased/(decreased) comprehensive incomes before tax by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.
10 bp 10 bp increase decrease US$’000 US$’000 As at the Listing Date Variable rate bank loans (94) 94
Capital management
The Manager’s objective when managing capital is to optimise the Pro Forma Group’s capital structure within the borrowing limits set out in the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (“CIS”) by the Monetary Authority of Singapore to fund future acquisitions and asset enhancement works at the Pro Forma Group’s properties. To maintain or achieve an optimal capital structure, the REIT Manager may issue new Stapled Securities or source additional borrowing from both financial institutions and capital markets.
